Life of a Magic Academy Mage - Chapter 788
Episode 788:
Antagondals was momentarily speechless at Lee Han’s shameless attitude.
‘As expected, he is so clever and wicked that a monster wants to make him his disciple!’
He was such a vicious person that I felt ashamed of myself, who in the past had wondered, ‘Why did a monster bring someone like that?’
When escaping, I was able to tell how bad it was that he took advantage of the evil magic criminal by threatening him.
But Antagondals did not explode with anger or lose his temper. He spoke in the calm manner of a seasoned magic criminal.
“I seem to have forgotten… hehe… didn’t I help you when you escaped from your ancient, crazy clone…”
“Yes?”
“When you… had to go out… I begged you to get my attention…!”
“yes?”
“You damn little bastard… Are you going to keep pretending like you don’t know!!!”
The hundreds-year-old magic criminal truly exploded.
Lee Han attacked as if he knew it would happen. 〈Wardanaz’s Telekinesis〉 was cast, and Antagondals in chimera form was thrown into the wall.
bang!!!
“Attack Nilia!”
“Ah… I understand!”
Nilia wasn’t sure who the other person was, but she decided to follow her friend’s words for now.
Whether it’s a monster that pretends to know when Wodanaz really doesn’t know or a monster that was deceived by Wodanaz, wouldn’t its arms be bent inward?
Whoosh!
As the sharp arrow flew, Antagondals let out a groan.
‘You evil bastard. You agitated me to attack me…!’
With that kind of reaction speed, it was clear that they were planning a surprise attack as soon as they saw it.
If that’s not enough, you pretend not to know in order to surprise the other person.
As befits a disciple of a crazy alter ego, he was a terrible person.
Chiik-
‘Ugh!’
In its original state, attacks that could have been blocked with a glance took a heavy toll on the body one by one.
It was because of the punishment given to Antagondals by his crazy alter ego.
Antagondals felt a deep gloom.
It wasn’t because of the overwhelming pain. The archmage did not despair because of the pain.
The reason Antagondals felt gloomy was because of Lee Han.
‘I can’t believe he found out I was weak!’
“Did you use too strong a poison?!”
“Nilia. Where have you gone, the cruel hunter of the North? Come back to the way you were back then!”
“I never did that! “He was just an ordinary hunter!”
Nilia protested against Lee Han’s harsh words, but immediately prepared for the next attack.
Nilia, who majored in enchantment and alchemy, knew how to put her special skills to good use.
When the magic arrow made during the lecture passed through the body of the bow, it glowed and writhed like a snake in search of the enemy’s flesh.
At the same time, the black potion thickly applied to the arrowhead melted the magic power and spread a dark curse into the bones.
Antagondals swore for the first time in a long time and barely pulled out the arrow with one hand.
“Blend into the wall!”
Antagondals, who had melted into the wall next to him, barely had time to open his mouth.
“You guy. Not only are you ungrateful, but you are also stupid… What are you going to do if I take you to my teacher right away…!”
“Is that so? I think if I had the ability to do that, I would have done it a long time ago.”
Antagondals’ heart sank at Lee Han’s words.
It was clear that this boy from the Wardanaz family had already guessed the situation in Antagondals.
“That… what do you mean…?”
“When he first appeared, I thought he had come to kidnap me at the request of his alter ego. But when I saw him talking to me, I thought it was a little strange.”
Lee Han spoke with confidence.
Einrogard’s main building was not a place where outsiders could freely enter. This was especially true for strong people.
Moreover, this semester, doesn’t the skeleton principal know the existence of alter egos and the existence of Antagondals?
But Antagondals came in like this?
‘That’s an alter ego that’s weak enough not to be caught by the border.’
From coming in arbitrarily to being unable to respond to Lee Han’s surprise attack and Nilia’s attack and getting beaten up.
Lee Han was confident that his judgment was correct.
“Aren’t you here as a very weak alter ego?”
“…You’re so quick to notice!”
Antagondals concealed his disappointment and admitted it obediently.
There was nothing I could do since I was caught.
“This… is a clone as weak and flimsy as a pile of mud… I can’t even just kidnap you… And the reason is because of you…!”
Antagondals confessed in a bitter voice what had happened after Lee Han escaped.
He was a crazy alter ego who was generous to the Einrogard students, to the point where he sent back Lee Han and a stupid royal boy, but he was not to Antagondals.
-You helped. Isn’t it?
-There seems to be a misunderstanding. Teacher…
-Do not call me teacher. The title was taken away for betrayal. How dare a lowly slave interfere with his master’s work?
-Master, if you give me death, I will accept it…
Sensing a qualitatively different danger from usual, Antagondals tried to destroy his body and die temporarily.
Before coming to the crazy clone, Antagondals had, of course, made a backup plan. Because no magic criminal was stupid enough to approach an ancient crazy being and learn magic without making any preparations.
Antagondals’ reserve is an additional body.
The additional body created through ancient magic from the Three Kingdoms era allowed the wizard to be resurrected by transferring his soul to it if his current body was destroyed.
This was a secret so powerful and complex that most wizards could not even think of it. Of course, Antagondals also believed in this magic.
Otherwise, would you have dared approach your crazy alter ego?
-Stealing souls? It’s a shallow tactic. It’s like trash that doesn’t even know who created that secret. Did you ever think that you would be able to deceive your master with his teachings?
-!!!
Antagondals was horrified to have been discovered and immediately destroyed his body and let his soul escape.
However, before the soul could escape, the crazy clone blocked the magic criminal’s soul with a wave of his hand. He then shoved his soul back into his destroyed body.
-trash. The prison you will be imprisoned in is your body, and your sentence will last until your soul wears out. If you want even the slightest mercy, make up for it. Even if it’s just one-tenth of what you’ve ruined!
-K…Kaaaaaaaa!
The crazy clone didn’t just stuff the soul back in, it also cursed it and tied it up so it couldn’t escape.
The curse was so severe that even the hardened body turned into a hideous chimera.
Antagondals had no choice but to admit that he had underestimated the ancient archmage.
No matter how much he fell into madness and became like a law, he still had the power to easily destroy at least one Antagondals.
“Thanks to you… it’s like this… I can’t use proper magic… and this clone… it took me a few days to barely make… just to make contact!”
Antagondals said, pointing to himself hiding in the wall.
How much trouble went into creating this weak and insignificant alter ego.
It was an insignificant clone that could have been created in a matter of seconds if only magic had been used as before.
“indeed. “You are truly suffering a lot.”
Lee Han said as if he felt sorry. Antagondals recognized the pretense in that voice and glared.
“Master wants to see you again.”
“yes. All right. “I’ll come see you next time.”
“Right Now!”
“I also have a schedule. “Why are you doing this?”
“……”
Antagondals, who had been glaring at Lee Han for a long time, gritted his teeth and accepted that this was not a situation where he could threaten with force.
With this double body, one more hit would destroy it, let alone kidnap it.
“What are you complaining about…? The Master loves and cares for you… He is waiting for you to teach you the secret!”
‘What kind of guy do you think I am?’
Lee Han was astonished at the level of lies of the magic criminal.
Who would fall for a lie like that?
“You were going to kill me if I couldn’t learn magic, right?”
“And then they resurrected me… It’s a blessing to be able to learn under those conditions…! “Why don’t you know your luck?”
“ah. yes.”
Lee Han answered indifferently.
“All right. Please tell me that you would like to have a meal together later when you have time. “I will definitely go.”
“If you go back… Master will treat you more gently…”
“Instead of killing you with pain, you kill him without pain?”
‘Wrong.’
Antagondals gave up trying to persuade Lee Han.
That boy from the Wardanaz family was as clever and cruel as he was, so he could never fool him.
Instead, Antagondals looked at Nylia. The innocent-looking hunter girl might have been shaken.
“You… young wizard… listen to me… I… risked my life… to save your kidnapped friend… and that’s why I ended up like this… I “Aren’t you pitiful?”
“By the way, that person is Antagondals, a magic criminal.”
Lee Han whispered. Antagondals did not give up.
“Of course… I don’t deny that I… have committed several demonic crimes… and am an enemy of the empire…! But… Let’s just look at the benefit… I did a favor for that friend… If you’re a wizard, shouldn’t you forget that favor…?”
“…is it?”
“That’s right!”
“great. Then come out and swear face to face. “Wardanaz will not harm you in exchange for helping you.”
“of course…!”
Antagondals got excited and came out of the wall.
I could make that oath any number of times.
Whoosh!
The arrow that Nylia took out (the blade stolen from Professor Verdus) flew quickly and pierced Antagondals between the eyes as he came out of the wall.
Antagondals’ alter ego, who had not expected to be attacked in this situation, melted into nothingness.
“hey! “Some magic criminal is a work of art!”
“……”
Lee Han looked at his friend with astonished eyes. Nilia, who belatedly felt those gazes, was taken aback.
“why?? “A magic criminal tried to kidnap you, Wardanaz!!”
“Oh no. That’s right, though. “I never thought you would cheat like that.”
“…This level of deception is normal.”
“is it?”
“It’s normal!”
Nilia suddenly got angry.
Then, after a while, he spoke in a low voice.
“…It’s a secret that I used this trick. got it?”
“of course. don’t worry.”
Lee Han nodded as if telling him to trust only himself.
How difficult would it be to keep something like this a secret for a friend who helped you?
At that moment, a bat jumped out of the melted corpse and shouted in a sorrowful voice.
“I can’t believe this Antagondals was defeated by a mere young hunter…!”
“uh?!”
Nilia was startled and tried to catch the bat by shooting it, but the bat ran away.
They were racing to return to Antagondals, which was located far away in the mountains outside the main building.
“I can’t believe this Antagondals was defeated by a mere young hunter…!”
“Why is it like that?”
The bat continued to wriggle and change its shape. And he spat out the same words as if he had lost his mind.
“I haven’t fully recovered from the shock of my body being destroyed yet.”
Even though they tried to remove only the core of the clone and return it, they could not overcome the shock of the destruction and it was becoming uncontrollable.
“Let’s chase after him quickly!”
“It will be destroyed on its own soon, right? “At that rate, it will fly for a few minutes and then collapse.”
“Is that so?”
Nilia was curious, and then she again heard the bat’s voice coming from afar.
-I can’t believe Antagondals was defeated by a mere young hunter…!
“…No, you have to catch it now! “Before it spreads any further noise!!”
